Old Road, Alderbury

A fantastic opportunity to extend and modernise a period village property set in a lovely position

The Property
Set in a lovely, slightly elevated position on the western edge of the village away from the main road is the delightful Fountain View. As one might gather from the name, the property has views over the green towards the King Edward VII Fountain, erected to commemorate the coronation of the then king in 1902.
Fountain View is a two bedroom period cottage set in a good sized plot with plenty of potential to extend (subject to the usual consents).
On the ground floor there are two receptions, a dining room and a sitting room, both fire places (untested) and views to the south over the front garden letting in plenty of light.
The sitting room leads through to the kitchen which is ready for modernising and features a Rayburn range cooker (untested) A ground floor bathroom and WC completes the ground floor.
Upstairs there are two double bedrooms both with a lovely view and fitted storage.

Outside
Approached from the lane double metal gates open up to hard standing for two vehicles. The gardens wrap around the house which sits centrally within its plot. To the western side of the plot there is an extensive fruit cage and highly productive kitchen garden with two green houses. The plot is abounded mainly with an evergreen hedgerow which has been kept in lovely condition. To the front of the house is a small lawn and a pretty apple tree. To the eastern side of the plot are two substantial timber outbuildings.
